This is not only a great idea but is probably a must for certification under the classic/collector regulations of the national automobile insurance underwriters association. I would venture a guess that they require some form of paid membership, unless the marque maintains a national/international registry on behalf of its members (such as the Rolls-Royce owners association). This group could provide three types of membership; interest, owner, collector. We could come up with specific names for these, but they would indicate whether or not the member is: (1) a person with an interest in the SVX, perhaps a potential owner; (2) a person who owns one or more SVXs, either as regular drivers or for other purposes; and (3) a person who owns one or more SVXs for the purpose of exhibit and/or investment potential. I would suggest the first two categories include free membership, but the third must require some per-car fee and a registry. In other words, membership would result in both the owner and the car being listed in a national registry. The registry should be a record-keeping branch that maintains an annual report on each registered vehicle, along with the annual fee. I would propose that the registry charge an initial registration fee with annual membership fees. If the SVX is ever to have lasting value as a collectible, NOW is the time to get this, or some other system off the ground. Again, great idea.

I would suggest that the registry keep the mileage information as well. The miles on the clock at the first of each year.
I would also say that there needs to be some fee with any of these to cover postage and printing of the certificates.
